    Gosh, it's been a while since I've done this stuff but it seems this would be what you are looking for:

    5-11x>71

    OH yeah, so to finish it would be like this:

    5-11x>71
    -5... -5

    -11x>71-5

    -11x>66
    ---- ----
    -11... -11

    x>-6

    I didn't check that answer against the original formula but it seems right from here.

    (and sorry for the... 's, I had to do that to make it line up in the right spot)
